Barostim therapy for resistant hypertension
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial is evaluating a device called BAROSTIM NEO, which sends electrical signals to help lower high blood pressure. It is for people who have recently had the device implanted and still have high blood pressure despite taking multiple medications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have already received the BAROSTIM NEO device within the last 30 days.
- Your systolic blood pressure (the top number) must be at least 140 mmHg.
- You must be taking a water pill (diuretic) and two other blood pressure medications at the highest dose you can tolerate.
- Your carotid arteries (neck arteries) must not have severe narrowing or ulcerated plaque.
- You must not have any uncontrolled slow heart rhythms or nerve damage that affects blood pressure control.

This study tests a new, non-invasive way to stimulate the brain using special electrical currents to see if it can help control blood pressure. It may be an option for people with mild hypertension, hard-to-treat hypertension, or a condition called orthostatic hypotension (blood pressure drops when standing).
This study tests a new pacemaker programming method (nerve therapy) to help lower blood pressure. It may be an option if you need a dual-chamber pacemaker and your blood pressure stays high despite medicine.
This trial tests whether stimulating nerves around the kidney can lower blood pressure in people whose high blood pressure stays uncontrolled despite treatment. It may help by improving how the kidneys and blood vessels regulate blood pressure.
This trial tests a procedure called renal denervation to lower blood pressure in people whose medication isn't enough. It uses a special catheter to calm nerves near the kidneys that may be overactive.
This study tests whether direct electrical stimulation of brain areas that help control blood pressure can safely change blood pressure. It may help researchers understand how to treat blood pressure problems in the future.
This trial tests a device called Barostim NEO that is implanted in the neck to help treat heart failure. It may improve symptoms by stimulating nerves that help the heart work better.
